Apparently Pete was (in some other posts on here, or maybe it was LRA) attempting a fix to this problem. either he or Porny should be able to fix it. |

Apparently the Td5 ECU has pre-programmed limits for stuff, and it knows that say, for 70mph it has to be doing 3500rpm (as an example, i don't know what the revs are for that speed)
Now, if you fit an overdrive or a 1.2:1 t/box, (as i have), then you could be doing 70mph at, i don't know, 3000rpm?, so the ECU will think "hmmm, that's outside of my parameters as a Td5 with 1.4:1 gearing should be revving at 3500rpm.... something is wrong" and won't let the cruise work. Whether this works on all ECU's i'm not sure, and whether the above is 100% accurate, again not sure, but that's the way i understood it when Pete was talking about it on here, and when i've chatted to Porny. |

Fitted mine over the weekend.....
Tip of the day The instructions say: "From inside the engine bay......feed the 2 core wire through the bulk head..... From inside the cab, find the end of the 2 core wire and feed it safely......." Yeah right!!! - It just coils itself neatly out of sight!! 
So my tip of the day - Use some nice brightly coloured nylon strimmer cord to feed through the bulk head. Its quite stiff and doesn't coil itself away - and a nice bright green in my case was easy to spot. Once its through and you can locate it you can then tape the 2 core wire to it and pull it through - perfect. 
Anyway - all fitted - been on a test drive and seems to behave exactly like my Freelander CC did Obviously no light on the dash to tell you that its engaged (like the FL) - but a slight touch to the brake, clutch or the button itself and it disengages Taking the Landie to work tomorrow - so will give it a run chugging down the A38 somewhere between 55-60MPH Jools 2003 90 XS SW Support Devon & Cornwall 4x4 Response - www.buy.at/dc4x4 |
